Quoting: Jets12Kozy
The above situation is a sign and trade 8x9 so that changes the trade comparable answer id have to look into it but its same situation as last year with Tkachuk essentially i beleive and Flames rightfully got a bigger haul Huby, Weegar, conditiional 2025 1st and B(ish) prospect, we move up in the draft and get a conditional 1st plus essentially a cap dump in dvorak i can take or leave him but montreal would likely need to. And its a great draft forsure by depth but unless Michkov is the 5th pick they want youre not getting a franchise potential player in that spot or anything
I don't think it can be compared using the sign and trade side as there's only ever been one, and im sure GMs wont use that comparison looking at how it went down. I can't think of another comparable tho. Horvat is a goodish player comp, but he's older and was a tdl trade. Only other similar trade comps I can rummage up are Meier and O'Reilly, but they're iffy.
So...
-Horvat
for
-17ovr
-Beauviller
-Raty
and
-O'Reilly+Acciari
for
-Gaudette
-Abramov
-25ovr
-76ovr
-2024 2nd
and
-Meier
-not gonna write allat(srsly did they just buy all of the flight tickets to New Jersey and say here ya go?)
for
-Johnsson
-Mukhamadullin
-Zetterlund
-26ovr
-2024 conditional 7th
So, I'd think the structure would be in the ballpark of a 1st+2024 2nd+A- to B+ prospect with high upside+cap dump. For that reason, I'd expect something similar to
-31ovr
-Calgary's 2025 1st(might be good looking at that team)
-Colorado's 2024 2nd
-Dvorak
-Ylonen
(+ one of Kidney, Mesar, Davidson, Struble, etc.)
In none of the above trades was a top prospect really handed out. For that reason, I'd think(emphasis on the I) that Roy, Dach, Farrell, Hutson and 5OA are tougher to get.
Just my two cents(or 1 if you didn't make it this far) anyway, good day!)
